Hey, if you are like me and are so lazy that you can't stand to do an absolute minimum amount of work, and you use Internet Explorer 7, than this tip is for you!!!!
You can add google search xda developers to your inline search box at the top right of your IE7 window. It only takes a few steps to add this, and you can have it in your IE7 search box for convenient google searching of xda developers any time you want.
or if you prefer the old way, the instructions are still located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304582
Follow these steps (they look like a lot, but they are simple):
1. Go to the regular google / XDA developers search url
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
2. Type the word TEST (all caps) into any one of the search boxes ( with all of the words, with the exact phrase, with at least one of the words) that google offers you (depending on how you most like to search xda developers) (if you type TEST into the "with all the words" field, that is the default google search method)
3. press "google search"
4. Copy the url of the current page you are on
5. click the little pull down arrow next to the picture of the magnifying glass in you IE7 search box
6. on the pull down menu click "find more providers"
7. on the page that comes up, there is a yellow box on the right side of the page that says "create your own" paste the url that you had previously copied into the first text field in the yellow box
8. In the second text field in the yellow box type the name that you want your new search shortcut to be called (I just called mine XDA DEV)
9. click "install" in the yellow box
10. A dialogue will come up with the final options (you can click cancel to quit at this point) you can click add provider to add it as one of your search shortcuts, or check the "make this my default search povider" box to make it the one that is automatically seen in that search box when you start IE7.
11. Success!!! if you didn't already add it as your default search provider, then you can pull down the box with the little arrow next to the magnifying glass and select it whenever you want to search xda developers quickly and conveniently through google.
12. to also add google search the XDA wiki, repeat these same steps, except with this as the url for step 1:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q= +site:http://wiki.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
13. You could also use these steps to google search any website, or even use the website's own search engine too
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same can be done for firefox 2 and I'm using it myself.
There is a standard keyword on google to search a specific site, so in this case, go to google, type your search, and then site:forum.xda-developers.com
eg On google, to search for vijay555 within the forum, type
Code:
vijay555 site:forum.xda-developers.com
Mike: I didn't notice any large, detrimental features in IE7. Firefox is still probably the way to go, but I tend to drift between the two depending on how much WMV porn I'm watching.
Actually, I use my own browser, VJMultiBrowser, which IMHO is nicer then both, but that's another story.

Google gives no results when searching for VJMultiBrowser?
mestrini: VJMultibrowser has never been released, to anyone except BuzzLightyear. It's very very much built around how I work, but it's been my main browser for a few years (ie since I wrote it), although obviously it's in continuous development.
That is in fact a problem, I've squeezed so many things in there, I forget what it can do. I just remembered that it has a flick gesture for flicking to the next page in a set of documents, eg, flick mouse left/right to go from
http;//forum.xda-developers.com/p=1436702
to
http;//forum.xda-developers.com/p=1436703
etc
Anyway, yeah, it's never been released, hence no information on it, but I recently made up a bit of an overview/description of it for the recent LifeHacker.com non-Firefox browser wars. However, I think I went slightly outside the limitations of the competition (they wanted a max image size of 1280*1024). There was too much to fit in, so I think I got disqualified. However, if you wanna have a look, check out the image below.
I suggest that you first put your browser in fullscreen mode (press F11), and then scroll right to the bottom first, to see how I use it in a 1x3 (ie 4 browser panes) setup normally. Then scroll back up the graphic to see some of the main features (but not all!).

VJMultibrowser - Features Part 1
PS: Some of the features, as described to LifeHacker.com
VJMultiBrowser is a browser “shell” I started working on some time back. Necessity was the mother of its invention – I worked in an office that had banned use of Internet Explorer. As such, I started discreetly using a custom version of Internet Explorer in Kiosk Mode to have a very low profile browser – no chrome at all, and no easy way to navigate.
I then started working on the MiniBrowser, a single browser with minimal chrome, ie very low profile interface, designed to use 99.5% of the available screen space for the browser, using only a tiny area for the necessary interface (Back, Forward, Home, Refresh, Save etc).
I quickly realized that for most efficient use while browsing, I would typically need at least 4 windows to be open simultaneously. This gave birth to VJMultiBrowser. The browser starts off as a single browser window with low profile interface. However, as required, up to three sibling browsers can be spawned to join the parent. Each browser is color coded in the top right so as not to lose track of them.
Each browser can be used to drag and drop using the MiniIcons in the top right near the navigation bar. Thus one can stay within the same browser window but drag off interesting links to its three brethren easily. The target browser will show a fluorescent green highlight to show it’s the required drop target, and if it’s currently obscured, it will jump up to the top to show which browser you are dropping into.
The home icon can also be used as a drag icon (to drag the current URL) and also as a drop target (eg highlight a URL in Word and drop it onto the home icon and it will navigate there).
The address bar and page title can be resized or completely hidden if not required. The home icon can optionally display the URL and Title as a Balloon, so no interface is required unless needed.
The address bar is a full command line – apps can be run, calculations performed, or jump to various shortcuts and favorites. Favorites and URLs will be autocompleted.
The concept is that I can use 4 browsers as a super-tabbed browser: 4 mini tabs accessible from each browser, and each browser can be hidden or viewed by clicking on its associated miniicon. Each browser can be maximized, closed, toggled in height, shrunk to an icon (MicroIcon mode) for non-obtrusive browsing. Each browser can be freely resized, or optionally docked together (like Winamp) and joint resized in proportion. Browsers can be resized using the numeric keypad for presets, or the cursor keys for pixel perfect resizing.
Layouts and current browsing sessions can be saved and reloaded by double clicking an icon or drag dropping a session onto the navigation bar. A single click can also resize the 4 browsers to quarter full screen (ie each browser takes a quarter of the screen), quarter non-full screen (same, but not the whole screen is used), explorer layout (1 large browser, 3 vertically adjacent mini browsers) etc.
Although typically 4 browsers are sufficient, for occasional usage you can “clone” either a fully featured MutliBrowser, or its little brother, the MiniBrowser. MiniBrowsers have full functionality, but have an even lower profile chrome/interface, ie just a context sensitive back and forward button, a home icon for drag drop saving etc, and a mini address bar. MiniBrowser are designed for temporary usage, and specialized usage, eg popping up Alexa information, a list of links on the page etc. Lists of links etc can be live filtered by typing the required path into the Mini Browser address bar.
A non complete list of features (as it’s in continuous development, and also, I forget all the little things built into it!):
* Built in command line from address bar - do calculations, run applications, aliases, live search and highlight, path navigation (with one button navigation up and down the website/directory path).
* File explorer – will navigate through local system to replace the Windows Explorer with a 4 pane multi-explorer.
* Use of customisable command aliases in address bar eg:
g] LifeHacker = google lifehacker
m] Bourne = find times for films containing Bourne
i] Bourne = imdb query Bourne
TRF to translate to French, TRG to translate to German etc.
* Aliases for most popular search engines, eBay, Movies.com, Wikipedia, IMDB etc. All aliases are user configurable
* Some Greasemonkey and embedded Javascript support, and customisable advanced bookmarklet support (can inject javascript and CSS sheets directly into the page. Optionally disable scripts, CSS and frames).
* CSS remover and rewriter.
* Built in WYSIWYG HTML editor.
* Live search type-ahead Google searches with one click access to searches and "I'm feeling lucky" targets (eg, start typing LifeHa, and press Ctrl + 1 to execute a Google search on the most popular hit for that search. Press Ctrl + Alt + 1 to go directly to LifeHacker.com).
* Live highlighting, eg start typing in Life and all references to Life will be highlighted, and a popup showing the hit count will appear. Quickly navigate forward and back through hits using F11 and F12.
* Live zoom in and out, and rotation (clockwise and anticlockwise). Can be used on websites and while image viewing – particularly useful when used in Explorer replacement mode, to browse through a folder full of images.
* Optional alpha transparency for the browser.
* Optional ghost mode for true transparent browsing – makes a selected colour on the webpage transparent, to allow viewing through webpage onto desktop etc. This is useful for example docking a display of live stock prices on the desktop, but not obscuring screen in any way.
* Gesture recognition for most important browsing functions.
Eg mouse drag left/right to go forward back, mouse drag up/down to navigate up and down directory path, button + drag to get special context menu for shortcuts, favorites etc. Browse with mouse only, no forward and back clicks required.
* Can host both the Internet Explorer and Mozilla browser for the best of both browser engines.
* Ad blocker, using customisable list of blockable urls.
* Anti-phising filter.
* Anti-spoofing filter and blocker (will catch rule defined exploits and warn before displaying the page, or optionally present a text only view of the page to disarm the spoof).
* Popup blocker, with optional override (either force popup into parent browser, or into a mini-browser so as not to obscure main session).
* Popup history to show URLs of overridden popups.
* Session based Browsing History (optionally saveable, by default erased on close). Color coded history shows what webpages were viewed by which Multibrowser.
* Form Filler – single click form filler to fill forms with generic, predefined form data eg Name, Address, Telephone) or fill in a form, save that data, and re-use pre-saved data to fill in that form on request.
* Save multi-browser layouts as shortcuts to reload and resume pre-defined browsing sessions with one click (eg have a folder on your desktop containing special layouts for News, RSS, Local Drives, YouTube).
* Image extractor (will present a list of all images on the page).
* Link extractor (will present a list of all links on the page).
* Site summarizer (will present a list of all links on the page with associated neighboring text, to quickly summarize the contents of a long page of links).
* Shortcut/Alias access to Alexa data and WhoIs data (presented in a mini-browser to not obscure main browsing session).
* ThumbNailer (will inject thumbails into links on the current page to see what the destination looks like).
* Built in RSS news reader.
* Optional Magnetized windows (like Winamp) to allow window docking and for the docked windows to be dragged as a group).
* Built in scratchpad/notepad with drag and drop save.
* Built in HTML to Text and HTML to PDF conversion. Merely drag the Home icon onto Notepad, Word etc and it will be automatically converted. Optionally right drag the home icon to save the URL only as text.
* Built in Speech engine to speak page or selected text.
* Zapper – remove any annoying page element (eg flashing adverts) by moving mouse over the element and pressing ctrl + z.
* Cropper – select required selection on the page and choose menu option to crop the entire page just to the selection: useful when printing only selected parts of a complex web page.
* Built in Favorites searching with wildcard searching and session saving.
* Gesture-based Favorites popup – Favorites presented as a popup menu by merely flicking the mouse.

VJMutlibrowser - Features Part 2
Some more of the features (messages have a limit of 10,000 characters. Who knew!?)
* Drag and drop search for Dictionary references, Google and Wikipedia (merely drop a selected word or phrase onto the navigation menu and a popup for each of these searches will appear). No keyboard required.
* Any corner dragging – resize the Browser from any corner using tiny drag handles in each corner. Alternatively use the efficient Multibrowser Gripper in the top right to drag and position the window, (left click and hold), resize the window (right click and hold), maximize (double click), minimize, toggle size etc.
* Desktop docking - immediately dock to any corner or edge. Use cursor keys for pixel perfect placement.
* Resizable Breadcrumb bar to allow single click navigation through local and web paths (eg, http://www.google.com/images/deviants, clicking on ‘images’ will immediately navigate to that URL. Also for local file browsing, eg in a path C:\Documents and Settings\MP014292\Desktop, clicking ‘C:\’ will browse to C:\.
* Status bar – hidden by default, can be displayed, resized. Carries an item history to see browser ‘status text’ all previous items. Will automatically extract embedded items like YouTube movies, flash games etc so they can be saved locally with one click.
* Optional keyboard only link navigation – jump to selected links, eg alt + 6 to jump to the 6th link on the page.
* Unlimited MultiBrowser and MiniBrowser clones – if more then 4 browers are required, more fully function browser windows can be spawned at the click of a button. MiniBrowsers (limited functionality browsers for displaying popups etc) can be similarly spawned.
* Custom error screen – if page cannot be found, a Google search will immediately be initiated, with links to Google Cache, Internet Archives, different domain suffixes (eg, Vijay555.com, .org, .co.uk etc)
* Single click appending of www. .com, www. .net, www. .co.uk, www. .org etc.
* Lots of other stuff I forget.
* 238k, installed. No spyware.

Note that the screenshot doesn't show all features. But hopefully gives some idea of how it works. All browser panes are freely resizeable etc though, so you can have any layout you want.

OK - I was almost sure this was a no-brainer well covered in these forums, but I could not search and find a solution. Pardon if I am recovering old ground, and perhaps someone can just point me to the right thread.
When I first open internet explorer (in my WM6.1 Dash). I know I can now easily set the home page to be some other html page - even without a registry hack in 6.1 (how nice!). But ... I want my Favorites (the list of links that appear then I click menu->favorites) to be the default home screen for IE. I can't figure out how to do this since "favorites" is really a directory of ".url" links, and not one single page.
So, what I want is when I start IE is to have this list of favorites appear.
Anyone have a hack, or other approach? Or point me to the thread where this was solved?
Thanks all!
not sure. i know that your favorites are stored in the \windows\favorites directory . I tried changing the home page to \windows\favorites, but that didnt work. Here's a tip that MAY work. It does however require using internet explorer on your PC though. What you need to do is first, backup your favorites on your PC... file-->export. Then you should have a mobile favorites in your favorites directory for IE on yor PC ( assuming you use activesync to sync your mobile favorites) you will need to organize your favorites and move all of the favorites from your mobile favorites to just favorites main. Then to file export of those favorites and name the file whatever you want. Then take that file and drop it anywhere on your mobile phone and then use pocket IE to open homepage with that file. This may then show the list of the favorites that your CURRENTLY have, this will not show any additional favorites you add after this point. you'd have to do this process all over again if you wanted to make sure that favorite is added to that list. As i haven't tried this yet, im only giving you this as a consideration, not as an absolute fix. Oh and make sure you remove all of your favorites from internet explorer on your pc then do file-import and locate the original exported file you created to get it back to where it was b-4 you started all of this.

I don't know either but another way is to set a favorites panel on your homescreen. When you click on the favorite url, then it would open PIE with that link. Or if you have Operamini set as DEFBROWSER then it could open in there. It would be fairly easy to write a mortscript that would check your windows/favorites folder and automatically add/subtract urls from the panel at a set time of day.
Ok , i did what i mentioned b-4 and it worked beautifully! Although the links look more like links you will see on a web page, they all work!
Bear with me as this explaination may be a little long.
Step 1. Make sure you have favorites checked to be synched using MS Activesync. you should see a mobile favorites folder in your list of favorites in IE if you have this setting checked. Make sure all of the favorites you have on your phone match the favorites listed in your phones favorites in PIE.
Then in IE. go to file->import&export-->export favorites-->select the mobile favorites folder to export. then it select the directory you want to save it to ( i selected the desktop) into "whateverfilename".htm file name. Then take that file you just created and place it anywhere on your phone. ( i put it into the "\storage card\my documents\" folder) Then on your phone, open up PIE and press right soft key-->tools-->home page and select custom, then on the line to type where the file is located type file:\\ and wherever your .htm file is located. ( mine looked like: file://\storage card\my documents\favorites.htm ) Then i selected home page in PIE and all of my favorites showed up on the home page!

I came up with a solution that works for me. Posting so others can see:
1. on my PC - in IE, I exported the "Mobile Favorites" directory to a file called mobile.htm
2. I copied this into my dash \windows folder
3. I went into InternetExplorer->Tools->Options and changed the default home page to \windows\mobile.htm
Reloaded IE and everything works just great.
Thanks !
Would this work if your favorites are organized in folders?
Yes it can
Thanks guys.
Here is my favorites i use
does anyone know how to configure the internet icons on the homepage... i'm referring to where you scroll down to Internet and there are 10 selections the first is my homepage the second is windows live email and the 4th is a link to xda developers, i want to set each one to a favorite.

Not sure if I understand, but if you need to add the url to the panel so you can open links directly from the panel, then you can set it thru the registry. If you change the actionurl or sk2url to something like this:
:MSPIE;http://xda-developers.com
If thats not what you mean, and you have links that work in your panels already and you want to add to favorites in pocketInternet Explorer. Then just open the link from the panel and then save it as a favorite once it opens the page.
I wasn't sure which way you wanted to go or I could give more detail. Hopefully that helps.
thanks the first answer was was i was talking about, i tried editing the actionurl and the sk2url like you said but that hasn't changed anything, the first six pages still go to the same websites and the last four that dont' have default url's dont' go anywhere lol

Sounds like its not saving in the registry right, exactly how did you go about editing and where? If it was directly in the reg, then make sure you do it in software and security. If thats what you did, then only other thing I can think of is a reboot after editing. You could also edit with CHome Configurator, I've seen it make reg changes that couldn't be done manually for some reason.
Can anyone tell me how/where you define the categories under the app drawer?
Each time I flash a ROM, I lose my category definitions, although any home screen "launcher action" widgets can be recovered. If I can match the order in which I defined the categories then my widgets will be ok.
I'm guessing that when you add a new catalog, you add some sort of file with a number and that is linked in the launcher action widget. e.g. Add new catogory "Office" to the menu maps to /data/data/appdrawer/categories/1.xml (I'm guessing the location and format - hopefully someone can let me know how it really works!)
That file 1.xml contains the name "Office" somewhere in its definition (or even somewhere else relative to the launcher/appdrawer) so that 1.xml can be identified as "Office"
However, when you create a launcher action widget, I think that a link is created and that that doesn't care about the name (you can call the widget whatever you want) so your widget might be "Office.wdgt" which is linked to "1.xml" from above. That works until you flash a new rom and then you have to remember that you created the "Office" category first otherwise the widget, which still links to "1.xml" will point to the newly defined first category...
I've got about 9 or 10 categories and it's a PITA trying to remember the order I've defined them in. If I could interrogate a file somehow through adb or via the terminal, that'd be great as I could at least recover my categories in the correct order and not have to recreate all of the widgets.
[Edit]
Alternatively - Does anyone know how to disassemble the ADW backup files? It's these that are referencing the drawer categories, so perhaps I can work it out from the ADW backup...
[/Edit]
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Bingo - I think.
The adw_ex_launcher.db file is an SQLite database which can be viewed using sqljet-browser or any other SQLite browser software. In there, there is a favorites table and the data has title and intent columns (amongst others) Within the intent data the CATALOG_INDEX is defined and this ranks the categories as needed.
At least with this I can setup my categories, knowing that they're defined in the correct order and I don't have to mess around with redefining both catalogs and home screen launcher actions.
Hope this helps someone else...
Hi all,
I've 2 questions about this fantastic App!:
1) Last (passed) Calendar Event
I've created a widget to display Calendar Events; it works ok but I've a request:
Is it possible to show last passed Event?
E.G. I set one event today from 8:00am to 9:00am
I see this event since 9:00am but after this time I don't see this event
Could Zooper show also this passed event?
If Z.W. couldn't I think this is a interesting thing to implement...
2) Widget (or element) Scroll
I read that Z.W. can't scroll ... but: is t possible to scroll text in RichText field?
This is the case:
In my calendar widget I use 1 RichText for every days to show the events in the day.
I've reserved 3 rows for every day (I "print" 1 event on every row) but if in a day I've more than 3 events I see only the first 3 events and I don't see 4th, 5th etc. events.
If RichText could scroll I will solve this problem
... If anyone know other alternative solution...

1) No, Zooper doesn't currently support access to past events. If you want to request it as a feature I would advise you to use the official channel here: http://zooper.themerapp.com/support/discussions/forums/268861
2) There is a trick to "scroll" things in Zooper by using an offset calculated from the current seconds/minutes but it's rather choppy and a huge battery hog. So it's do-able but not simple and - from my perspective - not really advisable.
Thanks a lot for your reply!
But about "scroll" you spoke about offset related to Time; do you have one example?
In your opinion is it possible "scroll" by clicking on a Button (image) on the widget?

I never used the trick myself so I don't have an example at hand but I'll look if I can find one for you.
As to your second question: maybe. You would have to use an external tool like Tasker and while you could use an extension of the timing trick to do a "scrolling animation" I think it would be more advisable to just switch between different module functions. For instance you could toggle your three lines of events between showing events 1-3 and 4-6. If you don't have Tasker I could give you a link to an app I once exported from it. With that you get a toggle action and variable to realize what I just described.

Since you have Tasker, I've exported my task as an XML. You can get it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/bziwrbw4azm04t3/Toggle.tsk.xml to import it on your device.
To use it you have to modify your current event modules in the following way
(You'll obviously have to substitute whatever you use to display your events, this is just meant to show the usage of the variable)
Code:
$#TVIEW#=0?#C0TITLE#:#C3TITLE#$
Then to toggle between them set the Task as a Tasker shortcut via the module or widget OnTap option in Zooper. Now you can switch between different display states with a tap on the widget.
Hope this is clear enough for you to understand. If not, just ask
Error, duplicated post. Sorry
I didn't have time to see your XML file I will download it ASAP; but:
How can I manage dates with Zooper?
Example; can I add Days to a date?
For example if today is the 30th Jan. 2014 can I add for example 3 and obtain 2nd feb. 2014?
I didn't find a way to do this in Zooper
Thanks in Advance.
I try to explain you the reason of this question:
I've for example 3 fields on the widget with 3 dates (today, Tomorrow and Day after Tomorrow)
I want to do this:
If I Tap on a field (e.g. "+") the control pass to Tasker and Tasker add a Day to 3 dates... the result is that the 3 fields with date will change the value
E. G.
1st field 15th gen 2014
2nd field 16th gen 2014
3rd field 17th gen 2014
If I tap on field "+" Tasker change the value of the variables and on the widget I will see:
1st field 16th gen 2014
2nd field 17th gen 2014
3rd field 18th gen 2014
... in this way I will create a scrollable calendar widget ... I didn't try to do this; I hope I will able to do this but my problem is that I explained on my question in the top of this post.
I Hope you understand my english
EDIT:
I find in Zooper how to manage "free date"; e.g. 4st of february 2014 at 01:00 is:
#D201402041000#
Then if I want display this date I can create a text like this:
#D201402041000 c dd-MM-yyyy#
and this is the result:
tue 04-02-2014
Now... With Tasker I can create a variable with this Value:
201402041000
E.G. Var1 = 201402041000
If in Zooper I set a Text with: #TVar1# I see:
201402041000
But if I set a text with: #D#TVar1# c dd-MM-yyyy# I see:
#D#TVar1# c dd-MM-yyyy#
Where is my mistake?
Is it possible in Zooper use a Variable like Date?
I've found my mistake; if I write:
#D$#TVar1#$ c dd-MM-yyyy#
It Work
I've found my mistake; if I write:
#D$#TVar1#$ c dd-MM-yyyy#
It Work
Is it possoble to get me to press a bitmap and male ot shrink while making a different one grow?
Yes this can be achieved. With any type of toggle input you will need to create a Tasker task which will toggle a variable on or off. You can then output this variable to Zooper and use a conditional to act upon the variable state (in this case you would want to use the bitmap scaling function on each of the bitmaps) then set the module on tap element of both bitmaps to the task shortcut in order to activate it.
The speed at which this works would be dependant on your phone/tablet so it might not work particularly fast.
Is there a video for this? Im kinda confused but im understanding it a little more.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
This isn't a video but should help you to create the toggle in Tasker: http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/how-to-create-a-toggleable-task-in-tasker.html
After you have got that working you just need to add another action so press + in your task then select plugin, and then Zooper Widget Pro.
In configuration enter the Tasker variable in ZW Text (remember the %) and enter a name in ZW Variable which you want to use in zooper, this can be anything you want. The convention is to use all capitals for Zooper variables buy it is not necessary.
Once you have saved this you will see that Tasker has added #T to the start of your variable and another # at the end, this is what you will be using in zooper.
Exit from the task with the < icon in the top left corner until you are back at the task page. This is important as it saves your task and also you will not be able to access the task shortcut from Zooper (or any other app for that matter) as Tasker will still be in edit mode.
Right, in your zooper widget call up one of your Bitmaps and go to advanced parameters. Enter this code , changing the variable name to what you have chosen
PHP:
$#TTASK#=1?[s]50[/s]:[s]100[/s]$
This tells Zooper to display bitmap at 50% if #TTASK# is set to 1 or 100% otherwise
Go to module on tap, select the Task Shortcut from the shortcuts menu, then select your task from the list - It will probably prompt you to select an icon. Do that and you have finished that bitmap. Now repeat the parameters in the other bitmap but change =1 to =0 so it is reversed then you are done.
Hopefully I haven't missed anything but let me know if you encounter any problems.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You've misunderstood me a little there, probably my fault.
In Zooper configuration enter %Toggle as the ZWText. It need to be the variable you have already defined in tasker, otherwise you are telling tasker to output a variable that you are not setting.
Also, you can just put one zooper plugin activity after the End If instead of having two separate statements as Tasker will read this last and update then.
Dude the man it works now
When I'm done with the widget I'll tell you so u can see what I shud improve, ATM I have 2 five nights at Freddy's widgets posted if u wanna check them out
Yo, the doors work for the toggle, but I'm trying to make chika and bonnie pop up on screen after a certain time that they show up at the doors
So basically, can I make a timer that that is triggered by one bitmap showing up and when it goes to zero a different bitmap pops up?
